New secret military base?

In the United States, there are many military bases that are top secret and high-tech. This military bases help the military fight wars and also provide new intelligence. But can one of these bases be outside the United States? In Australia, the U.S. is building a high-tech military bases that will help the U.S. fight the war in the Middle East. Since the U.S. and Australia have a close alliance, the government will approve the base that has been a secret for three years. The base which was built in the Geraldton, Australia is 370 kilometers big and also is going to provide the U.S. with new network of satellites.
Also it will provide the U.S. with high intelligence for the military, which will give them information and graphics that will be put in unbreakable codes. In the U.S. there have been debates since this base is going to be the biggest installation of the U.S. in Australia in decades, also it is compared to other ones like Pine Cap and North West Cape. With this installation, it would be impossible for Australia to be neutral or to not get involved in any war that the U.S. is involved in, said Philip Dorling who visited the Australian Defense Force Academy. Dorling also said that this base will be a military target, just like other bases like Pine Cap. Since this base could be a target, Brendan Nelson who is the Defense minister said that the base will probably have underground stations in other parts of Australia for the mobile system of the base. In my opinion, this base is going to be a good step for the U.S. because it will help the military be more diverse and it will provide more information to fight the war.
